It's a matter of "solemn respect for the integrity of Federal institutions" not the Constitution (Although you can make an argument).
House members for the prosecution are representing the entire chamber regardless if there were votes against impeachment. An standing House member acting as part of the defense council would make the HOR look divided as well as making the whole impeachment process a farce.
Yes I know, how could an already farce turn into another one? Well, I am just going by what these creatures that we elect actually believe and project.
Where did they get this argument? Is it in the Constitution?
What is this Constitution, which some people outside of Congress keep mentioning?
